Top Law Schools

I read a news article that a few top law schools (non-top 14) but a couple tier 1 law schools, were planning on closing in the next 3 years due to applications being relatively low. I was just curious what effect, that this would have, and if negative? on others that applied to law school?

eta: keep in mind, once you have found a way to scare away your senior tendered professors, the actual cost of providing a legal education is fairly low, it does not take that much to get over break even. While they might not be the cash cows they were several years ago, I doubt that any T1 school is not within striking distance of being profitable.

This may be the article you were referencing?

I doubt we are three years out of a top (T1) law school closing - two now, since the article was published in March '15. There would have been something leaked out by a student/faculty by now. If any schools start being chopped, it will probably be from the lower TTT; I thinkhope people are getting wiser towards admissions, thus cutting off the ignorant money heading towards the big time for-profit schools.
